When asked what her initial reaction to news of the project was, she said: "I was a bit taken aback, naturally. I thought, 'Why? Why are we doing this over again?' But I guess, I don’t know why they’re doing it. But they are, and it will be interesting to see what they do with it."

Then, when asked if she found the idea of somebody taking on her role as Mrs Potts strange, she added: "Oh, absolutely. I can’t understand what they’re going to do with it that will be better than what we’ve already done.

Beauty And The Beast, which also stars Dan Stevens , is released on March 17, 2017.
